## Summary

Lancashire County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of external print goods, classified under "Printing and related services" (CPV 79800000). The procurement, which falls under the goods category, involves a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Print Marketplace 2 framework (RM6371) and is estimated to be worth £823,500. The contract will run from 16 December 2024 to 15 December 2025, covering deliveries to the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, and the award was made on 30 November 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the printing industry, particularly those capable of handling large volume and diverse material and size requirements beyond typical in-house solutions. Firms already part of the relevant framework agreement, especially those with substantial production capacity and the ability to meet regional distribution needs, are well-suited to benefit from such contracts. Although Lancashire County Council preferred a large-scale supplier for this award, other businesses with suitable capabilities can prepare to compete in future tenders and framework agreements to drive growth in their operations.

## Notice

Lancashire County Council has a requirement for a range of printed products that cannot be fulfilled via the Authority's fleet of Multi-Function Printers or via the Authority's inhouse Mail, Print and Scan service. There are various factors that may mean a print requirement cannot be fulfilled in house, such as the required volumes, material and size. To meet these requirements LCC will call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Print Marketplace 2 framework reference RM6371.
